Inquiries.


More letters are being received this
winter than ever before, in all parts of
Dakota, from prospective settlers, asking
for information regarding the country
And we are glad to be able to state that
Emmons County is getting her full share
thereof. The last mail, among other lct-
ters Of inquiry, brought one from the
East and one from the Pacific Slope Mr..
Cyrus Plank, of Ashland, Ohio, writes ::
'Pleasc give Inc all the information you
can in regard to government and railroad
lands in Emmous County also, Williams
port town lots"
Mr.. Ludwig Wild, of Viola, Clackamas
county, Oregon, writes Several friends
of mine and myself have determined to
remove to Emmons County. Therefore
l take the liberty of asking you to inform
me whether there is plenty of vacant
government land in said county. If there
is any good government land that my
friends and myself can take up, we will
come out next spring."
The above are samples of the letters of
inquiry arriving by every mail.
